WDB TAXIING PAST HOLDING MLG ACFT. ALLEGEDLY ACCUSED BY CAPT OF THE MLG OF THE WDB WING TIP TAKING OUT HIS WINDSHIELD. NO FURTHER COM.

Narrative

TAXI ON INNER AT DTW ON WAY TO RWY 3L. TURNED OFF ACTIVE RWY 3L AND STOPPED SHORT OF INNER. AN MLG WAS ABOUT 1/4 MI FROM US WHEN HE STOPPED. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS TO GO BUT HE SEEMED TO BE WAITING FOR US. HE WAS HOLDING BTWN INNER AND OUTER. WE TAXIED BY MLG ON OUR WAY TO 3L. AFTER WE WENT BY; PLT OF MLG CALLED GND AND ASKED WHAT IS THE # OF THE WDB WHO TOOK OUT MY WINDSHIELD WITH WING TIP. GND CTL TOLD HIM TO CALL COMPANY. I SAID ON RADIO 'ARE YOU SERIOUS'. MLG PLT MADE NO COMMENT. I DID NOT WISH TO GET GND CTL INVOLVED SO SAID NO MORE AND GND DID NOT TELL PLT MY FLT #. I TRIED TO CALL MLG ON COMPANY BUT GOT AN ANSWER. I ASSUME HE FELT OUR WING GOT TOO CLOSE TO HIS ACFT. I AND FO AND SO DID NOT THINK WE WERE TOO CLOSE. WE KNEW WE DID NOT HIT THE MLG NOR DID WE FEEL WE WERE THAT CLOSE. FO WATCHED WING TIP AS WE WENT BY. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO KNOW HOW CLOSE WE HAD COME TO MLG FOR MY OWN EDUCATION. HOWEVER AFTER HIS COMMENT TO GND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I COULD BELIEVE FROM THIS FELLOW COMPANY PLT.
